Kickstarter Projects: Text Mining

Analyzing

1. Identifying Successful Projects

a) Success by Category

It seems that dance related projects are more likely to success than any other categories, while the food related projects are more than easily to fail.

b) Success by Location

2. Writing your success story

a) Success in words

b) Simplicity as a virtue

To tell from the graph above, simiplicity does not necessaily indicate success.

3. Sentiment

a) Stay positive

There are more successful blurbs are rated as positive than failed blurbs, and also more successful blurbs rated as negative, while more failed blurbs are rated as neutral.

Therefore, we could guess maybe the more sentimental the blurb is, the more likely it could succeed.

b) Get in their mind

As the result graph shows, successful blurbs have more words alluding anticipation, surprise, but failed projects include more anger, disgust, fear, negative, positive and trust, while they have similar amount of joy and sadness.
